I don't know who is dumber here. The US killing a top military general, or Iran blowing up a Ukrainian commercial plane filled with fucking Canadians.
Definitely the latter. I don't really know what's dumb about eliminating a dangerous terrorist.
Because it creates tension between the US & Iran? Because it creates a possible proxy esque war in Iraq? I'm not say killing him was good or bad but it will have repercussions for the US and allies. If you can't see that you're really naive.
I mean Iran have already (unsuccesfully) attacked coalition bases since this occured and more damaging Iraq have asked the US to leave Iraq.
Also it's quite obvious they shot down the commercial plane by accident it had like 80 Iranian citizens onboard and Iran had absolutely nothing to gain from shooting it down.
Was it a dumb error? Yes, was it a dumb planned foreign policy move? Probably not.
